A windfailfor Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 15.-To-day in copying
and renewing the public records partly
burned during the great fire of 1871 an en-
ploye Of the city clerk made sensational
discovery. 1t was nothing less than deed
to the city of tF4nty-foot strip of prop
erty, which now forms the south dock OF
the Chicago river. stretching from State
street east nearly to the lake, distance of
half a mile, through one of the most valuable
districts i'll the business portion of the city.
Before the fire no dock existed on this
part of the river, and much of the strip
was under water, while the remainder formed
narrow lane in an ullfreQuented locality.
After the fire the river was stilled in and
gradually docked at the present line, OWL
ers of adjacent property erecting tall ware
houses and manufacturing establishments
extending to the bank. In the confusion
attending the destruction of the city the
governments transfer, made in 1850, was
lost sight of, its existence being known only
to few persons not directly interested and
there being no record of the transfer on
file. To-day's find, it is thought, will EN-
rich the city at least several million dollars.
which sum the present owners will ulti-
mately be mulcted. The city authorities
are extremely reticent concerning the mat
ter. and the exact details cannot be learned.

SpeCIaI 10 the GIODe.
MASON CITY, Ia, April IA case Of
embezzlement has just come to light in the
city. For the past two years Carl Alt has
been in the employ of the Parker Flour
Mill company as salesman. A few months
ago it was discovered that the mill was not
paying its proper dividends, and it was
suspected that Alt was appropriating a
good per cent. of the proceeds to his own
use. He was finally trapped, and confessed
that he has been taking from So to So per
day from the funds. and as a partial resti-
tuition gave over his house and lot, promis-
ing to clear up the matter entirely. Sunday
night he disappeared, leaving his family
here, and has not been heard of since 1t

Emin Bey Meet an African Potter
tate Who Rivals Solomon.

ZANZIBAR, April ia SOmali trader
from the Uganda country has arrived here
bearing advices from Emin Bey. He was
established, when the trader left, at
Wadelai north of the Albert Nyanza. He
had two small steamers plying on the White
Nile and on the lake. In November Emin
Bey visited King Unyoro which was six
days journey from Uganda. Emin Bey
was accompanied on this journey by DR..
Vita Hassan. ten Egyptian officers, three
Greeks and four negroes. Subsequently he
asked Mwanga king of the Unganda. to
receive him. The king said he would will
ingly receive him if he came without fol-
lowers. Emin Bey thereupOn went to
King Mwanga. He and his companions re-
maned with the king seventeen days.
Emn asked the king for permission to pass
through his territory toward Zanzibar.
The king upon hearing this
request, ordered the visitors to re-
turn the way they came and
declared he would have nothing more to do
with Europeans. King Mwango is youth
Is years of age. He has 1000 wives.
Sometimes he wears Turkish and at
other times he wears an Arab costume, and
often reverts to the native simplicity in the
matter of dress. Emin Bey, when the
king ordered his return the way he came,
went back to Wadela and was glad to escape
from the Uganda country.

A Georgia Liquor Case.

ATLANTA. Ga. April 15.-There is a
conflict of Jurisdiction between the state
and federal courts in Georgia, which is
likely TO assume considerable Importance.
William NJ. Miller runs distillery in De-
Kalb county, which he refused TO close in
obedience to the prohibition law. He was
indicted therefor by Judge Clark and was
on trial. when, by a writ of habeas corpus
he was taken from that court and the case
transferred to the federal courts. This
caused Judge Clark to write a letter to Gov
Gordon, in which he denounced the action
of Judge Pardee as an infringement Oh the
state sovereignty, and asked that the state
take measures to protect itself againt such
encroachments. He said:
As / understand it, it is sin against the
very alphabet of the law to convert the writ
of habeas corpus into contrivance for de-
feating criminsl trial.
The state will appear as a party to the
case in Judge Pardee's court and claim jul
riSdiction of the prisoner.

IS TEE RE A WILL?
The Probable Disposition of Ed
ward fsreitung's Property.

Special to the Globe.
NEGAUNEE, Mich. April 15.-Although
. diiisSft search has been made among the
papers and effects of the late Edward
Breitung, he will has yet been found
though it is stated authortiveiy by several
friends of the deceased millionaire that he
executed such document before going to
Germany in 1854. The value of the prop
erty left by Mr.. Breitung is about $1,000
900, though much of the property consists
of mines and mineral lands in Northern
Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota. He
owns %. 600 of the 100. 900 shares of the
Minnesota Iron company. of which Charl-
magne Tower. of Philadelphia. is presi-
dent. The, Minnesota Iron company owns
five large mines in the Vermillion iron
range and will ship 450 900 tons of iron
ore this season. The shares held by the
Breitung estate alone must be worth nearly
50, 600, 600. The only heirs to this great
property are Mrs. Breitung, the widow of
the dead millionaire. and his son, Edward
N, boy of 16. 1t is probable that the
matter will have to be thrown into the pro-
bate court before settlement can be
reached. in which case there will be rich
pickingS for the LAWYERS.

The Haddock Murder Trial.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, April 15.-In the dis
trict court to-day Judge Pendleton contin-
ued his argument for the defense in the
trial OF Arensdorf, occupying the entire day
to p. IN. There was much comment on
his work of yesterday, but to-day he was
apparently in better condition and made
good impression. During the closing hours
he wavered somewhat, but this was proba-
bly, due TO exhaustion, as he is very feshy
man. well advanced in years, and unable to
stand the strain that younger man would
not notice. He went over the ground at
length, and the closing part of his speech
was something remarkable, although he
supported himself by leaning on the judges
bench during the last hour. At the con-
cIusion of his speech short recess was
taken, after which Hon. M. d. O'Connell,
OF Fort Dodge, began the closing argument
for the state. He spoke about two hours,
and will occupy the forenoon tomorrow.

Dover has ever experienced occurred this
evening in the Cocheco Print works. 1t
will involve loss of nearly 5000. 600. and
will throw 600 operatives out of employ
ment for probably four to six months. The

ded to the excitement. Fathers, mothers.
and other relatives ruSed from all directions
to learn the fate of their children and
friends. There were many thrilling scenes.
Nobody was killed. but narrow escapes
from death were numberous. The roof and
all floors fell into the cellar within thirty
minutes after the alarm had been given.
The principal danger was to the operatives
employed upon the second and third floors.
Most Of these escaped by jumping from the
windows. Had there been rny wind, MOTH
ing could have saved the other buildings
connected with the works. Several times
they caught fire but were as often saved.
